Only reason I said Egypt is I think Turkey and NATO are too dependent on one another for Turkey to go full oppo. I started this thread because I'm not so sure anyone would realistically go awol, as the lines are too written in stone to be crossed imo. I guess a better question is "which of USA's allies are most likely to go it alone" or not openly side with the USA against Russia/ChinaEgypt has it too good playing the fence to go full opposition to the USA as, USA is paying for the military to keep peace with Israel and since their leadership is from military, they loathe to cut that gravy train, not to mention that they know how vulnerable they are to internal unrest, USA would have no problem triggering a bloody civil war in the country, if Egypt leadership went too far.
State Department is willing to give Egypt a lot more slack, compared to other countries, due to need to keep Israel safe, but that only goes so far.
I fully expect them to go the route that most other times we armed shithole countries went. they just will likely not team up with Russia and china.Surprised no one has jokingly said "Ukraine" yet
Not possible,becouse both are soviet allies.They could not turn on USA,becouse they did so long ago.France, them Germany.
That isn't happening unless Russia wins total victory in Ukraine establishing a puppet goverment any other scenario only leads to Ukraine joining NATO or forming a separate pact with the U.S. if the rest of the members refuse to sign too many Ukrainians have died and if they win this war and don't get under someone else's nuclear umbrella in anywhere between 10-20 years Russia will lick their wounds and go for round 2.Surprised no one has jokingly said "Ukraine" yet
Still, Turkey joined NATO for a specific purpose and I doubt they'd be willing to alienate themselves of NATO/The West any time soon. Turkey is indispensable to NATO and as a result, NATO will continue catering to their demands, which is why I don't think Sweden will be joining the alliance anytime soon, and of course Turkey will return the favor to NATO, continuing to outright oppose Russia on many issuesTurkey probably, the Sultan is trying to make his county an Islamist cess pit and arguably has already turned against the U.S. only staying in NATO because their is no way to eject a country from the alliance.
nah. they would if they thought they would benefit from it. not actually benefit from it. think they would. NATO is held together by the US's appearance of strength if that falters too much? nobody will stick around.Still, Turkey joined NATO for a specific purpose and I doubt they'd be willing to alienate themselves of NATO/The West any time soon.
